The amount of power used to drive the world´s computing-related infrastructure - including PCs, servers, data centers, routers, and switches - has been growing rapidly. Complicating this situation has been the increasing amount of heat that higher-performing systems generate. In response, manufacturers have had to add cooling systems, which use still more power
